Italian Forno

I have decided to change the flour from Central Milling to Caputo Italian Flour, still using "00" grade.
Central Milling was no longer an option for me to use.

I need an objective taste tester please. I just finished a Tuscan Cannellini Bean soup and I think it's the best soup I have ever made. I'm a little biased.
Here's the list of what I used in it:
Cannellini White Beans, Onion, Garlic, Carrots, Salt, Pepper, Red Pepper flakes, Italian Seasoning, Butter, Baby Spinach, Celery, Organic Vegetable Broth.
This is an authentic Tuscany recipe and it is an amazing soup. Let me know, I'll be headed to town in the morning around 10:30 and I can meet you.

I still get inquires and messages about my Pizza. I am about to take on the challenge of getting Pizza off of the not allowed list under the Freedom Food Act in Arkansas. 7 other States allow it, and the fact my pizza would be safe there and not in AR is a problem for me. Since all "Cottage Food" acts are governed by the Health Dept. I see conflicting issues with what is safe and what is not, after all the local health units are part of the Dept of Health for each State and each State to the US Dept of Health.
Recently I created a dedicated clean room for all of my prep work of doughs, and boxing up of breads. The kitchen is only used for the baking of my breads.

Here is more info about how safe food produced in homes and sold to the public. This is from the Institute for Justice which has had a hand in developing the Cottage Food Acts in 25 States.

Is buying homemade food safe? New data from the Institute for Justice (IJ) show the answer to that question is a resounding “yes.” IJ contacted the seven states with the broadest homemade food laws (California, Iowa, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming) to request data on the number of complaints and confirmed cases of foodborne illness that could be traced to a food product sold under states’ homemade food laws. Each of these states’ homemade food laws allow the sale of not just shelf-stable foods (like breads, cakes, and jams), but also perishable foods like meals (tamales, pizza, chicken sandwiches, and various cultural street foods). The results showed that not a single state has found a foodborne illness to be caused by food sold under their homemade food law. This was true even though some of the states, like Wyoming, have had their laws in place for almost a decade.

Now, can Tyson, Georges, Walmart, McDonalds, Produce growers or any other corporation in the food industry say that? NO!

What is it??
Here it is, I'll do my best to explain the process, there isn't a recipe for this, it's a combination of 4 recipes I have been shown over the last couple months.
First I used extra yeast and shortened the proof time. All of the proofing was done at room temperature starting off with cold water. Extra sugar was used to feed the yeast. Then I used apples from one of our trees, don't know what kind, then baked them, and added them this morning along with Cinnamon Sugar and all-natural honey. I shortened the baking time and the result is a carmelized delight, soft and sweet.
So I call it "Honey Drizzled Apple Cinnamon Focaccia"
First come first serve, these are $15 each, lots of prep and costs added to this recipe, but I can tell you this, it is the best breakfast Focaccia or dessert Focaccia you can eat.
